(Chapters 6 and 7) - The
prisoners were eating snow
off other prisoners’ backs.
Also, all the prisoners had
to try to keep warm on the
open cattle cars. Somone’s
face was covered with frost
and snow. Him and his
father were close together,
but he didn’t know if he
was alive. Others prisoners
were about to throw his
father out, because he
looked dead, but Elie
slapped him and his father
reacted. There was an old
man who had bread, and
his son went on top of him,
and the father said that he
was his father, and the old
man died as the son took
the bread. Then people
went on top of the son, and
they were both dead, side
by side.
CHANGE in Elie
Elie felt that there
was no longer a
reason to live and
struggle. Elie said
that he was on 15,
and he had seen so
many horrible
things already.

(Chapter 8) - His father

was sick, and the head of
the block told him that
every man should fight for
himself. He said that Elie
was killing himself, and he
should not give his ration to
his father, and also take his
father’s ration.
Elie had thought
that the head of the
block was right, but
he didn’t want to
admit it. He said to
himself that it is
too late to save his
old father, and he
also thought that he
should have two
rations of bread and
soup. Then he felt
guilty and ran to
get soup for his
father, but he didn’t
want it, he wanted
water. His father
said that Elie was
being unkind to
him, and all he
wanted was water.
He brought him
water, and he
became an invalid,
so he could stay
with his father.
His father was hit
with a truncheon
because he was
talking, and the last
word he said was
“Eliezer”. The next
day, his father was
gone, and a new
invalid was there.
He was not sad, but
thought that he was
free.
